Coach Les Sheard stepped down as coach by mutual agreement with the club in the days following their loss to Bramley on the 31st of October. David Mortimer was appointed coach shortly after their win against Cardiff a couple of weeks later. There appears to be no newspaper reports of any individuals holding the position of caretaker coach in the interim.
